1. Some of your articles used to be pretty technical (e.g. explaining derivative structuring on specific deals). Why did you stop writing those?
2. What might you do instead of writing your newsletter for Bloomberg?

Besides moonlighting as a derivatives structurer, the obvious boring thing would be just to do what you are doing but on your own, as a paid newsletter. A lot of your target audience are finance types who are able and willing to pay. You would lose the benefits of being accessible to everyone (incoming tips, etc.)

​

However, it's pretty risky and the much less risky thing to do would be to do something supplementary, like an ad-supported or paid podcast or a paid newsletter, where you go more in depth in a topic or interview guests or have a debate roundtable or a combination of those things. What's appealing about something like that is it is low risk, everyone still gets access to your current Bloomberg newsletter and the people who value your content highly are happy to pay you more for it.
